Corporate Law

This section provides practical legal guidance on corporate and business law matters in the Philippines, particularly for founders, entrepreneurs, foreign investors, and growing companies navigating regulatory and compliance requirements.

Our corporate law practice covers the full lifecycle of a business—from entity formation and registration to ongoing compliance, restructuring, and dispute prevention. Whether you are setting up a corporation, choosing between an OPC and a traditional corporation, or ensuring compliance with Philippine regulations, the articles in this section are designed to clarify complex legal rules in a straightforward, business-oriented manner.

We regularly advise on matters involving corporation registration with the SEC, minimum capital requirements, foreign ownership restrictions, corporate governance, and business structuring. Special attention is given to issues commonly encountered by foreign nationals and overseas Filipinos doing business in the Philippines, including compliance with constitutional and statutory ownership limits.

The guides here also address recurring concerns faced by business owners, such as selecting the appropriate business structure, avoiding common filing and documentation errors, understanding directors’ and officers’ responsibilities, and maintaining good corporate standing. Where relevant, discussions are grounded in applicable laws, SEC regulations, and prevailing practice, while remaining accessible to non-lawyers.

This resource is intended to help readers understand their legal options and obligations before problems arise. While these articles provide general information, corporate matters often involve fact-specific considerations that require proper legal assessment.
